Chapter 953 Return to Black Moon City
Zhou Xu has never doubted Silk's qualifications.
Although it was slower than he expected, it was a good thing after all.
Zhou Xu reacted and was not stingy with his rewards. Silk's smooth breakthrough gave them another powerful person at the Hundred Refining Realm level in Great Zhou. This was another unexpected surprise. .
At the same time, this is undoubtedly a good sign for Zhou Xu, the ruler. In the future, there will only be more and more extraordinary mages and Hundred Refining Realm warriors in their Great Zhou Dynasty! The internal strength will naturally become stronger and stronger!
With this mentality, Zhou Xu, after finishing breakfast, started a new day of exploration work in high spirits.
But what they want to explore next is no longer Qingshui Mountain, but to take a boat to explore the small islands on Qingshui Lake.
Those small lake islands are really small. Even the largest one can basically go around the island in two or three hours. The smallest one is estimated to only have an area of 400 to 500 square meters. .
Of course, this exploration work is mainly based on blanket search, so it actually takes more time to explore a lake island.
But even so, in half a month, the group headed by Zhou Xu had almost completed exploring all the small islands on Qingshui Lake.
Facts have proved that the time Zhou Xu estimated for himself at that time was quite accurate. It indeed took almost a month to complete this exploration work.
At this moment, standing on the deck of the bow of the ship, looking at the port of Black Moon City that was constantly zooming in within his field of vision, Zhou Xu felt really filled with emotion.
Counting the time, I haven’t been back for a long time.
During this process, he couldn't help but notice the two huge waterwheels not far from Black Moon City.
In order to divert water into the canal and irrigate the farmland outside Black Moon City, he specially asked Zhuang Mengdie to build a waterwheel.
Later, with the continuous development of Black Moon City, the field area became larger and larger, and the irrigation pressure also increased.
About two years ago, through a document report, Black Moon City applied to him to upgrade the water tanker.
Zhou Xu didn’t think much and directly approved it.
Now the people in the relevant departments have learned and applied all the knowledge and techniques he taught them at the beginning. After mastering the principles of waterwheels, they directly built a large composite waterwheel. came out, greatly improving the water diversion efficiency here.
In addition, the area along the lake has also changed dramatically.
Earlier it was basically empty, but now, not only has a dock and port been built, but there is also a small market not far away.
That’s where the fishermen sell their fish.
Of course, other vendors will come over from time to time and sell other things.
At the same time, a relatively simple building was built near the market.
The construction of this area was mentioned by Zhang Xiaoshan in his previous report, and it was also approved by Zhou Xu.
That is to establish a fishing village and fish market outside Black Moon City, near the lake area, for fishermen to live and do simple business.
After all, fishermen have to come here from the city to fish early in the morning every day, and have to run back after dark, which is a time-consuming and laborious job in itself.
Now that there is this small fishing village located outside the city, this problem can basically be solved.
Standing on the deck of the bow of the ship, Zhou Xuguang could already feel the excitement of the fish market just by looking at it from a distance, and a smile appeared on his face unconsciously.
“This area is developing well.”
From a developer's perspective, what could make him happier than seeing the results of his own development?
While thoughts were racing, the ship had already docked at the port. As the head of the administrative department of Black Moon City, Zhang Xiaoshan, who had received the news in advance, was already waiting below.
"Weijun Zhang Xiaoshan, please see Your Majesty!" "No courtesy!"
Looking at Zhang Xiaoshan, Zhou Xu reached out and patted his shoulder, his face Full of smiles.
"Thank you for your hard work during my absence."
Hearing this, Zhang Xiaoshan's nose felt inexplicably sore. As the development scale of Black Moon City became larger and larger, he felt pressure on himself. How big it is, only he himself knows clearly.
“It’s not hard work to serve His Majesty!”
“Let’s go and see how Black Moon City is developing now!”
While speaking, Zhou Xu Get on the carriage and rush towards Black Moon City.
Before he even got close, Zhou Xu, who was leaning against the car window, had already seen the towering city wall!
Over the years, Black Moon City has continued to develop, and it can even be said to be the fastest growing city here.
Zhou Xu was in the palace of Xianyang City at that time. Through remote decision-making, while building a ten-meter city wall for Black Moon City, he also directly merged Salt Lake City into Black Moon City and became Black Moon City. An internal area.
The distance between Salt Lake City and Black Moon City is not that far.
In those years, with the continuous expansion and development of these two cities, it would not be an exaggeration to say that the two cities were directly next to each other.
They have already reached this point, what is the point of dividing them into two cities?
Not to mention that Zhou Xu had long wanted to merge the two cities, and now this matter has been completely implemented.
The city gate is open during the day to facilitate people's entry and exit. During this period, a group of soldiers guard the door for routine inspections.
During this process, Zhang Xiaoshan’s deputy had undoubtedly already dealt with the inspection issue, and had an unimpeded journey directly into the city.
“Xiaoshan, why don’t we get out of the car and take a walk?”
Obviously, Zhou Xu wanted to complete the inspection work incidentally.
Although the specific development of Black Moon City over the years has been directed by him remotely, he has never seen it with his own eyes. Zhou Xu obviously wants to take a good look at it now.
Zhang Xiaoshan accepted this proposal without even thinking about it.
"Your Majesty is so elegant, I will accompany him to the end."
Hearing this, Zhou Xu smiled, then turned to look at Silk.
"Silk, you take Chitose and everyone to settle down first, while Xiaoshan and I walk around the city."
Mainly, the presence of Hilke and Chitose is really eye-catching. They followed, and he couldn't keep a low profile even if he wanted to.
“Yes!”
Silk accepted the order directly.
Although he is the leader of the Guards Corps, in fact he is not worried about their Majesty's safety at all.
Are you kidding me? Their Majesty is an extraordinary mage. With all his strength, who in this Black Moon City can endanger his safety?
The only occasion that requires the strength of their personal troops is probably when their Majesty is going to personally conquer the country. Their main job on weekdays, to put it bluntly, is to solve troubles for their Majesty, not because of those trivial matters. , distracting His Majesty them.
